Back to launch point for COT

Moleskin:

• First time back to The Matrix in a while for YHC.  Strong group of guys that put forth good effort this morning.
• Communicating with Alf before the work-out last week and he had mentioned that the only time he did Peter Parkers/Parker Peters was when YHC or my brother, Chelms, was the Q.  Had to make sure to include at least one set in COP this morning.
• Lobster Roll makes the bear crawl look easy.  On last set he took off on forward run across field and then realized we were bear crawling.  No worries, he returned to starting point and proceeded to blow by everyone again.
• Cole Slaw, Alf, Lobster Roll, and Turkey Leg all killed it when we were completing the series with the rocks.
